+Mayan EDMS v0.12.1 release notes
+================================
+
+*May 2012*
+
+This is the first maintenance release of the 0.12 series.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+While bug fixes and minor feature were the focus for this release, some
+bigger changes were included becuase of their importance.  The parsing of
+document saw a complety rewrite being now class based and allows for more
+than one parser per mimetype with sequencial fallback.  This provides the
+best text extraction on deployments where users have control over the 
+installation and basic extraction when deploying on the cloud or other
+environments where users don't have the ability to install OS level
+binaries.
